If a parabola opens downward, it has a highest point. This lowest or highest point is the vertex of the parabola. The parent function f(x) = x2 has its vertex at the origin. You can identify the vertex of other quadratic functions by analyzing the function in vertex form. The vertex form of a quadratic function is f(x) = a(x – h)2 + k, where a, h, and k are constants. Holt McDougal Algebra 2 2-1 Using Transformations to Graph Quadratic Functions Because the vertex is translated h horizontal units and k vertical from the origin, the vertex of the parabola is at (h, k).
